The National Associations of Mazotos have been housed in a privately owned building located on a main road of the Community since 1980. In fact, the building is situated near the Community Council and the church of Agios Georgios. The visitors of the National Associations, as Costas Papageorgiou distinctively writes, have the opportunity to “observe everything that happens in the most central part of the community”*.

Popular Organizations

The Popular Organisations of Mazotos are housed in a private building located in the old core of the village. The Association was established by a group of residents who belonged in old Unions so that, as Costas Papageorgiou remarks, “they could ensure a better wage and better working conditions for the workers”*.
